Review quote

"L. P. Hartley possesses a genuine interest in problems of moral discrimination and a concern for human and civilized values that make it possible to relate him at his best to the tradition represented by Henry James, inherited perhaps by way of E. M. Forster." --Gilbert Phelps, author, "The Heart in the Desert"
